Wholegrain bread and pasta: how can you make a gradual switch?

One wholegrain food daily is an adult guideline. A gradual switch helps introduce more fibre.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

For adults, aim for at least one wholegrain starchy food daily: bread, pasta, rice or couscous.

Whole grains retain more fibre than their refined versions.

Start by replacing one familiar product. Semi-wholegrain options can be an intermediate step.

Increase fibre-rich foods gradually: a sudden increase can cause bloating.

Wholegrain bread can accompany a meal; wholegrain pasta can replace your usual pasta.

Notice what suits you and prepare questions if an individual dietary instruction makes this change difficult.
